Courant d'air 🍃

Same, I played 8 hours in two work days (this is huge for me who usually plays 8 hours a month). This game is addictive as hell

Just made the transition, couldn’t be easier. Export, import, profit

Good read, I think the practical example of enshittification makes it easier to understand.

Nice, it really brings the finish to another level

Love it! How did you make the case?

As I understand the screenshots, it looks like it is simulating a windows XP desktop but not opening actual windows or messing with the system

Second that, same plan for 2 years and very happy with it. I only host a VPN though

A Raspberry Pi with a touchscreen should be enough, I can’t think of a cheaper alternative

I’d say more than 10 years now. Computers evolved a lot more between the 90s and the 00s than between the 00s and now, my old laptop is 10 years old and it’s still perfectly running linux, and I hope it will keep running for years.

The problem is more hardware obsolescence, it’s a Acer so every part of it is slowly falling apart (keyboard, screen, battery) and OEM parts are impossible to find after all those years. I guess this problem is less important for desktop.

I do run Piped locally for my family’s use, it seems that it works better than public instances but I haven’t really measured to what extent (except for ping, which is obviously excellent at 4ms).

I would say that the problem with self-hosting for private use is limited privacy, as the benefits of grouping multiple users behind the same proxy are lost. I try to mitigate this by routing all piped traffic through a VPN though.
